Operator/supplier deals

Scientific Games and 888 provide the DE Lottery with casino and poker platform services, which are used on Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway’s online casino offerings. No other supplier deals are permitted.

On the sportsbook front, the three operators are tied into GVC subsidiary Stadium Technology Group for platform provision for single-bet wagering, again via DE Lottery.

For the existing parlay sports betting permitted via the DE Lottery pre-PASPA, William Hill is the state’s “exclusive risk manager”.
